5.1 Basic information concerning safety
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of electric shock, injury or
fire, the following basic safety precautions must always
be observed when using electric tools.
Read all safety precautions and instructions before
using this tool.
5.2 Safety precautions at the workplace
● Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
● Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated.
● Keep the workplace tidy. Objects which could cause
injury should be removed from the working area.
Untidiness at the workplace can lead to accidents.
● Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold
the workpiece in place. The workpiece is thus held
more securely than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the tool.
● Wear eye protection.
● Wear breathing protection if the work creates dust.
● Wear suitable working clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing, loose long hair or jewelry as it can become
caught up in moving parts. Wear suitable headgear
if you have long hair.
● It is recommended that protective gloves and non-
slip shoes are worn when working outdoors.
● Keep children and other persons away from the work-
ing area.
● Do not allow other persons to tamper with the tool
or the supply cord.
● Avoid unfavorable body positions. Work from a secure
stance and stay in balance at all times.
● Connect the dust extraction system. Check that this
system is connected and used correctly.
● To avoid tripping and falling when working, always
lead the supply cord, extension cord and dust extrac-
tion hose away to the rear.
● Concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes pre-
sent a serious hazard if damaged while you are work-
ing. Accordingly, check the area in which you are
working beforehand (e.g. using a metal detector).
External metal parts of the tool may become live, for
example, when an electric cable is drilled into inad-
vertently.
5.3 General safety precautions
● Use the right tool for the job. Do not use the tool for
purposes for which it was not intended. Use the tool
only as directed and when it is in faultless condition.
● Avoid contact with rotating parts.
● Use only the original accessories or ancillary equip-
ment listed in the operating instructions. Use of acces-
sories or items of ancillary equipment other than
those listed in the operating instructions may pre-
sent a risk of personal injury.
● Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account. Do not expose the tool to rain or snow and
do not use it in damp or wet conditions. Do not use
the tool where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
● Keep the grips clean, dry and free from oil and grease.
● Do not overload the tool. It will work more efficiently
and more safely within its intended performance
range.
● Always hold the tool securely with both hands on the
grips provided.
